Hello! I am glad that you stopped by. Today I am sharing a card than I made with a Printable Design from Silhouette on my Cameo. I sized the design to fit on my card and printed on White CS and trimmed. I used Polka Dot and Heart pattern Washsi Tapes to complete the card using a Gray card base and a layer of Pink CS embossed with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots EF. The card was finished with die cut words in pink cut with Cheery Lynn dies.

Hello! My card today is made for the CAS(E) this Sketch graphic on the right. I know I took the design literally and stamped circles copying the sketch. I just had that design stuck in my mind as I stamped multiple colors using Large and small Circle stamps from GKD Inspiration Mosaic and Candles for Your Cake. Yes, I did use actual rubber stamps that I have. I first thought of using erasers on the end of pencils but then I remembered the GKD stamps. My colors used were inspired by the Photo Inspiration from Addicted to Stamps. I also added some embossing to the lower edge for texture which also follows the circles theme.
Supplies: Memento Dandelion, Cantaloupe, Tangelo, Morocco inks: White, Yellow, and Orange CS from stash, Cheery Lynn Happy Birthday Dies.

Challenges:CAS(E) this Sketch: #133 shown on upper rightAddicted to Stamps: #155 Photo Inspiration. Used colors of flowers in my card. The cluster of circles mimic the shape of the flowers in an abstract way.Cheery Lynn Challenge: #195 Anything Goes. This is a very different style card that I usually make for Cheery Lynn Challenges but it is Anything Goes, so why not enter it?

Welcome to my studio! It looks like another hot day to spend some time making more cards. My design today is for the sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday and also for the Power Poppy challenge. I used the Power Poppy stamp set Lavender that I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics and Memento Markers. The word Lavende was stamped in Memento Lulu Lavender ink. The 4 pattern papers used are from GCD Studio Journeys paper pad by Kathy Davis. My color choices look like they were inspired by the Power Poppy graphic shown below. I finished with Dragonfly Brads and a touch of Grosgrain Ribbon.

Hello! I just arrived home after being in Tennessee visiting my Mother for a few days. If we think it is hot here in Ohio, it seems cool compared to the heat in TN.
I am trying to do some challenges between doing things that I really should be doing....working in the garden, laundry, housework, etc....
The card that I am posting was made with stamps from Repeat Impressions and I used the sketch from their challenge this week. I only stamped a portion of the Floral Stamp ( eliminated the butterfly) but also used the individual butterfly and sentiment stamps. My Black-Eyed Susan plants are now blooming so I was inspired by them to make this card.
Other supplies used: Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copics Y21,YR21, YG03, G82, E07, E35; GKD Fresh Asparagus CS; White and Black CS; Fancy Pants Pattern paper; Square and Circle dies.

Make a project that shows how we relax. Bird watching is a favorite past time that makes me relax so I am showing a bird in a tree that I may have spotted. And I used distress ink on the edges of the layers.

I was playing with the challenge at Tag You're It! and was inspired to do a 2 layer tag using pattern paper (used for both layers) and to make with a 3D butterfly design. I had this paper from 7 Gypsies pad Conservatory out on my desk and decided to create with it. Since I found this challenge, I think I will enjoy making more tags.

Hello! Today I have a card using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. I used an old Flourishes stamps from the Beach Life set that I stamped with Memento Espresso Truffle ink and colored with Copics and sponged the embossed sky with Summer Sky ink.

Hello! Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is Get In Shape. So, I thought getting on a bicycle might do the trick, but.... all we have to do is make a card that is not a square or rectangle. That is easier then doing exercises! I made my card round using Spellbinder Blossom Die and Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die. But I did a bicycle theme with Papers and Such stamps from Basketful of Flowers set. I added some Flower Soft to the flowers in the basket, a bow, and some pink brads to the spokes.
Other Supplies: Pink and White CS, Memento Tuxedo Black and Rose Bud Inks, Pink Satin Ribbon, Green Gelly Roll Pen.

Second Post Today
Hello! I always seem to be late when I enter a card for Tuesday Morning Challenges. I must think that I have until Monday but this challenge closes on Sunday. I made this card with Power Poppy stamps and pattern paper from 7 Gypsies Conservatory pad. To qualify for the Power Poppy current challenge I needed to use at least 3 Patterns. I pulled colors from the floral pattern for my design.

Hello! The Photo image from the challenge at The Shabby Tea room has been stuck in my mind and I decided I just had to make a cupcake with yellow icing for a card. This is a very literal interpretation of the photo. I cut out a cupcake from white CS using a Silhouette file on the Cameo. I colored the stripes with Sakura Yellow glaze pen and added "Icing" with a yellow Stickles and added glitter to that with Stickles yellow glue glitter. I attached the Cup Cake to a Pink Paislee pattern paper from Color Wash pad and a base of White CS. The sentiment from Power Poppy stamps was embossed with Wow California Sunshine EP.
